ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES

EAR CANDLING
Ear candling helps get rid of wax from the ear without the use of harmful cotton buds. A seal is made between the candle and the ear. The flame at the top of the candle creates negative pressure through the tube of the candle, drawing wax and debris out of the ear canal. This may help people with sinus issues.

Consulatation may include an ear assessment, ear candling and a reviiew of both ears.

Full consultation (time differs from person to person) – $40

REFLEXOLOGY
​

The application of pressure to feet sends a calming message from the peripheral nerves in these extremities to the central nervous system, which in turn signals the body to adjust the tension level. This enhances overall relaxation, brings internal organs and their systems into a state of optimum functioning, and increases blood supply (which brings additional oxygen and nutrients to cells and enhances waste removal). It positively affects the circulatory, respiratory, endocrine and immune systems in the body.

Consultation may include  foot reflexology treatment on both feet and feedback with recommendations.

30 minute consultation – $30

FLAME CUPPING

Glass cups are warmed with a gentle flame inside the cup; this removes all the oxygen, which creates a vacuum. The cup is then placed over a specific area on the body. The vacuum created by the lack of oxygen anchors the cup to the skin and pulls it upward on the inside of the glass. As the air inside the cup cools it draws the skin up, releasing tension in the muscles underneath. This also opens up the skin’s pores which helps to stimulate the flow of blood, breaks up obstructions, and creates an avenue for toxins to be drawn out of the body. Depending on the condition being treated, the cups may be moved along accupoints or meridians.

An add on to your massage – $20

RELAXATION MASSAGE

Relaxation massage uses smooth, gliding strokes. The primary purpose will be to help you relax, the pace will be slower and the pressure will be lighter. During a relaxation massage there is less emphasis on working out serious adhesions or knots in the muscle tissue and the therapist won’t push your pain limits in order to get the muscle to release. Benefits include calming the nervous system, promoting a sense of well-being, improving blood circulation and stimulating the body’s lymphatic system, which carries away waste products.
